The last cheat sheet I posted was in need of revision and reordering. This one is better than the last--I hope. 



CHEAT SHEET OF SAM
COMMANDS
x cmd - set dot and
run command on each matching line


. -- apply command
to dot


, --  apply command
to whole document





< replace dot
with std input of command


! run the unix
command


> send dot to std
input of command





0<date -- insert
date


>spell -- check
spelling


>wc -l -- count
just the lines


>wc -- do a line,
word and character count





|tr a-z A-Z --
change case


,x/".+"/
y/"/ | tr [:lower:] [:upper:]


OR


,x/".+"/
y/"/ | tr a-z A-Z


-- to capitalise all
letters inside quotes





s/.*/*&*/ --
enclose phrase in asterisks





|fold -s -- break
up/format long lines


|fmt -- idem


|sort -- sort the
file


|uniq -- delete
juxtaposed duplicate lines


|awk '!seen[$0]++'
-- delete non-juxtaposed duplicate lines


,x/\n+/a/\n/ --
finds every occurrence of 1 or more (+) newlines (\n) and appends a
new line.





/vi/ or +/vi/ --
search forward


0/regex/ -- search
from beg. of file forwards


0/regex/+-p --
search for a string and select the whole line that contains it


/vi/+- m 0 selects
and moves the next line containing "vi" to the top of the
file


/vi/+- t 0 selects
and copies the next line with "vi" to the top of the file





$/regex/ -- search
from end of the file backwards





Search for a string,
and then go from search results in sam window to document:


,x g/hello/{


p




}





0,$ t "peter.c"
0 -- copy contents of one to another





, and ; selects
whole document


, equivalent to 0,$


0;5 and 0,5 -
selects 1st five lines





-/^/+#10 -- go to
10th column of current line





B < echo *.org --
One can load multiple files by using <


B < grep -l vi *
will load only those files that contain the string "vi"


D is the complement
of B. It eradicates the file from sam's memory but does not delete
the file from disk! Without a name argument removes current file


e replaces current
file with one specified


f changes the
filename


f <nl? -- set the
current filename to null


n gives a list of
read and loaded files





{} Braces group
commands


[ˆn] any char but n


[nm] n or m





w writes the whole
file, or parts of a file to disk


< cat
/home/red/bin/songs -- insert contents of a file


r
/home/red/bin/songs -- idem


r replaces dot in
the current file with the contents of the file specified





<
/home/red/bin/songs -- insert contents of a script


/home/red/bin/pass google -- output contents of script to sam window





< echo "Hello
world" -- insert ascii code at the current position





x/^/a/  / -- indent
the selected text by 1 tab. x means apply to all lines in the
selection.





sam terminal
information


-----------------------


. indicates the
current file


+ the file has a
window open


- the file has been
read by sam


* the file is open
in more than one instance


' the loaded file
differs from the file on disk





/.+\n/ -- finds
lines with text


/.*\n/ -- matches
single whole lines





0/Ben/,/Son/ -- find
a range of text


.,/regexp/ --
selects text FROM dot to the regex


./regexp// --
selects the second occurrence of a regex


./regexp// -- 
selects the third occurrence of a regex


/vi/+/vi/ -- search
for the second occurrence of "vi" following dot





p -- prints contents
of dot in sam terminal


= -- prints current
value of dot in sam terminal





,t "junk"
0 -- copy current file to start of file "junk"





Perform conditional
ACTIONS on lines:


g/regexp/ command --
g = if. If dot contains regexp, run command


g/test/d


,x g/vi/p -- if a
line has "vi" print the line in sam window


v/regexp/ command --
If dot does not contain, run a command


,x/.*\n/ g/ed/
v/red/ p -- find lines with ed but not red


,x/".+"/
y/"/ -- search for text in quotes but do not show lines with "y"


,x/".+"/
x/"/ -- search for text between quotes and only show the quotes


,x /.*\n/ g/vi/ p -
break file into lines, if lines contain "vi, print





,x/ +$/d -- delete
empty whitespace at end of every line


,x/'+$/i/
--color-auto/ -- insert the phrase "--color-auto" into
every line that ends in 1 or more '





.x/Peter/d -- search
dot for 'Peter' and delete 'Peter'


,x/\\v|\\c|\\s1|\\q1/d
-- multiple deletions


,x/\*/d -- delete
all asterisks


,x/^ /d -- delete
the indents


,x/^ +/d -- delete
all blank spaces at beginning of lines


,x/^$\n/d -- delete
all blank lines


,x/\n\n\n+/c/\n --
change multiple blank lines into 1 blank line





,x/[0-9]/d -- delete
lines with numbers





,x/^http.[^,]*?/d --
search for "http...," and delete





C-i -- create a tab
stop of 8 spaces


,x/^/a/ / -- indents
text with a tab stop.


x/^     /d -- remove 1
tab of indent from selection





,x/[‘‘’’“”‘’]/c/"
-- change all smart quotes into straight ones


,x/".+"/
x/"/ c/'/ -- change double quotes (that surround one or more
characters) to single quotes


,x/good/ c/bad/ --
change "good" to "bad" on every line


,x/teh/c/the/


,x/Emacs/x/E/c/e/ -
change all the capital "E"s in "Emacs" to lower
case "e"s





X -- is an iterator
that works on files not lines


X D -- remove out
all up to date files


X/regexp/ command --
Run command on files whose menu line matches


X/questions/D --
close file called "questions"


X/\.sam$/,x/the/+-p
-- search multiple files for text and print the results


X/.*/,x/<cr>/d
-- strip <cr> from all files


X ,x/(.+\n)+/
g/account/+-p -- look through every file, and every line, and if any
line contains "account" print it out in sam window





s/.*/& Hello/ --
add " Hello" to the end of line


s/good/bad/





The y command
*excludes from consideration* in the seach that follows.





,y/ben/
x/(.+\n)+/g/Directory details/p





Y/regexp/ command --
Exclude the file named by "regex" from consideration.





.x g/fred/
v/........./ c/jim/ -- Look through dot. If dot contains "fred"
change it to "jim" provided it is not "fred....."





,x[a-zA-Z]+/{


g/fred/ v/...../
c/jim/


g/jim/ v/..../
c/fred/


}





In the above command
braces {} allow for multiple commands. The command says: search every
line that contains 1 or more letters, if the line contains "fred"
change it to "jim" and if "jim" change it to
fred, provided "fred" is not "fred." and "jim"
not "jim."





g - "if"


v" - "if
not, unless the regex is"





,| ssam -f
your_script -- apply a sam script
